- Acting a bit contemporary
I should start by saying I’m a theatre professor and I might notice things the average person would not. But I am not a film critic and film is not my forte.

- Well-done
Is it possible to do a poor film adaptation of anything by Jane Austen? Probably, but excellence in the writer seems to inspire excellence in film-making. This adaptation of one of her more complex tales is quite well-done. I particularly liked Fanny Price as played by Billie Piper.

Rating: - Pleasntly Surprised
I had just recently finished reading Manfield Park, by the great Jane Austen, when I started to look for film adaptions of it. When I came across this one, I read all the reviews (most of which were poor) and quickly went the other way. I first watched the 1999 version, it having better reviews, and I liked it quite a bit (aside from thinking “Where is William?”). But, still curious, I came back to this version, having always liked the adaptions this group put out, and was astounded that it could recieve … Read More

Just wasting some free time on Digg and I found your entry. Not normally what I prefer to read about, but it was definitely worth my time. Thanks.
